019:012:001
Help,
LORD;
for the godly man ceaseth;
for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

019:012:002
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:
with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

019:012:003
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

019:012:004
Who have said,
With our tongue will we prevail;
our lips are our own:
who is lord over us?

019:012:005
For the oppression of the poor,
for the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise,
saith the LORD;
I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

019:012:006
The words of the LORD are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times.

019:012:007
Thou shalt keep them,
O LORD,
thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

019:012:008
The wicked walk on every side,
when the vilest men are exalted.
